UEFA.com salutes all 17. Read more Wayne Rooney found the net against Switzerland on Tuesday to become England's all-time leading scorer, yet his goal also came loaded with additional prestige. The Manchester United forward etched his name onto an illustrious list of European players to have reached a half-century of strikes for their national team, becoming the 17th to reach the 50-mark.

Related Items Keane closes on Ronaldo Even so, the 29-year-old is at the bottom of this particular leaderboard and remains a long way off Ferenc Puskás's continental record. Indeed, former Arminia Bielefeld, Bayern München and Hertha BSC attacker Ali Daei's world record of 109 international goals for Iran may be safe for another generation. UEFA.com presents the European roll of honour. Ferenc Puskás (Hungary & Spain) – 84 goals in 89 appearances The 'Galloping Major' remains in a field of his own in European goalscoring terms. His final total might have been considerably higher given he played the last of his 85 games for Hungary in 1956 aged just 29 – subsequently leaving his homeland and eventually settling at Real Madrid. Having taken Spanish citizenship, he played four further internationals for Spain between 1961 and 1962, yet never scored for his adopted country. Sándor Kocsis (Hungary) – 75 goals in 68 appearances The inside-forward scored 11 times at the 1954 FIFA World Cup.

A team-mate of Puskás with Budapest Honvéd and Hungary, he was to register seven hat-tricks for the national team, earning the nickname 'The Man With The Golden Head' for his stellar aerial prowess. Retiring after a spell with Barcelona, he ran a restaurant – La Tête d'Or – prior to his untimely death in 1979, aged 49. ©AFP/Getty Images Miroslav Klose lifts the World Cup Miroslav Klose (Germany) – 71 goals in 137 appearances Few would have expected Klose to become the all-time leading scorer at World Cups when he first appeared at one in 2002. However, 12 years and 16 goals later, he retired from international football with a World Cup title and several personal records in the bag. The 36-year-old Lazio totem is Germany's most prolific marksman ever and became one of the game's best poachers. Known for his aerial ability and general work ethic, Klose has been cited by several former team-mates as one of the best role models they ever played with.

Gerd Müller (West Germany) – 68 goals in 62 appearances Like Puskás, Müller did not appear to have the natural physique of a footballer. His first coach at Bayern, Zlatko Čajkovski, nicknamed him 'Kleines dickes Müller' (Little, fat Müller), but his instincts, aerial power and fearsome acceleration over short distances marked him out as perhaps the wiliest fox ever to have patrolled a European box. He scored in the finals as West Germany won the 1972 UEFA European Championship and the 1974 World Cup. Robbie Keane (Republic of Ireland) – 67 goals in 142 appearances Two goals against FYR Macedonia in a UEFA EURO 2012 qualifier in June 2011 took Keane's tally to 51, making him the first player from any British Isles nation to achieve a half-century for their country. He has since become the leading scorer in UEFA European Championship qualifying and continues to be a key man under manager Martin O'Neill.

"When I first came into the Ireland squad, Niall Quinn said to me I would get 50 goals, so it's probably down to him," he said. Imre Schlosser (Hungary) – 59 goals in 68 appearances Schlosser netted an incredible 258 goals in 155 league matches for Ferencváros between 1905 and 1916, and his strike-rate for the national side was almost as impressive. He made his last international outing on 10 April 1927, nine days after Puskás was born, having completed that awesome haul thanks to an aggressive style, a fine shot and great positional sense. David Villa (Spain) – 59 goals in 97 appearances Although things did not go to plan for Spain at the 2014 World Cup, all-time top scorer Villa still managed to sign off a glorious career with La Roja on a positive note, registering in their last game against Australia with a classy back-heel. Villa burst into tears as he left the pitch, but Juan Mata sought to console his colleague.

"David has to be proud of everything he has achieved and all the goals he has scored," he said. "We'll see if someone beats his record one day, but it's going to be very difficult.” ©AFP The inimitable Zlatan Ibrahimović Zlatan Ibrahimović (Sweden) – 57 goals in 107 appearances Eight-time Swedish player of the year, Ibrahimović is now his country's all-time top marksman: he plundered goals No49 and 50 during the 4 September friendly against Estonia, overtaking previous incumbent Sven Rydell in doing so. After the game, he cited his remarkable overhead kick against England as his "most beautiful goal" in Sweden colours. He added the 57th at the end of the 4-1 home loss to Austria on Tuesday. Jan Koller (Czech Republic) – 55 goals in 91 appearances Standing at 202cm, Koller dominated the Czech footballing skyline for a decade from 1999, travelling to three UEFA European Championships and the 2006 World Cup.

He attained some kind of international goalscoring peak with four strikes in a 6-0 win against FYR Macedonia in June 2005. He might have been even more prolific, yet did not make his international debut until he was 25. Joachim Streich (East Germany) – 55 goals in 102 appearances Small but deadly, Streich was the former East Germany's most-capped player as well as its most productive forward. Emerging on the scene in December 1969, he claimed a bronze medal with East Germany at the 1972 Olympics in Munich and struck twice in four matches at the 1974 World Cup. The only treble of his national-team career came in a 9-0 victory against Malta on 29 October 1977. Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) – 55 goals in 122 appearances The Real Madrid ace needed 109 matches to equal Eusébio's 47 international goals, though he did so in style with a hat-trick against Sweden in the World Cup play-offs – for some, it was his best performance for his country.

If he has not been quite as prolific for Portugal as for Manchester United and Madrid, he remains their talisman. He was not up to his usual standards in Brazil last year yet still notched his 50th goal against Ghana. Poul Nielsen (Denmark) – 52 goals in 38 appearances An inveterate tormentor of goalkeepers, Nielsen was the undisputed star of the Denmark sides of the early 20th century and a silver medallist at the 1912 Olympics. An amateur, like most elite players of his day, his final tally included 26 goals against Norway and 15 against Sweden. His nickname 'Tist' was an abbreviation of Gratist, the Danish term for freeloader, since as a youngster the forward used to sneak into games without paying for a ticket. ©Getty Images KLOSED!

A look at the top goal-scorers in the World Cup india Updated: Jul 09, 2014 12:47 IST None Miroslav-Klose-warms-up-during-a-training-session-AP-Photo Germany striker Miroslav Klose became the World Cup's all-time record scorer with his 16th goal during their semi-final against Brazil on Tuesday, eclipsing former Brazil striker Ronaldo in the record books with his 23rd minute strike. The 36-year-old, playing in his fourth World Cup, had already equalled Ronaldo on 15 goals with his dramatic strike in Germany's 2-2 draw against Ghana in the group stage before moving ahead on Tuesday in the match in Belo Horizonte. Of the German squad, Klose is easily the most experienced. He is the oldest, at 36, and has the most caps — 132. He is Germany’s all-time top goal scorer with 69 goals for his country. In an age where the striker is more expendable than ever, Klose was still one of the first names on the German team sheet, and is their only forward option in Brazil.

Klose has been instrumental in Germany’s recent successes in the World Cup, although he still lacks the winner’s medal that would put him in the upper echelons of the game. Here’s a look at other football legends and their glorious score sheets at the World Cup stage. Ronaldo – 15 goals The previous record holder, Brazilian mega star Ronaldo was a voracious goal scorer. He was the crown jewel of one of the most star studded football line ups in history. His explosive pace and tremendous finishing ability will mean that even without the record he'll remain one of the greats of World Cup football. Gerd Muller – 14 goals Another German goal scoring legend he comes second after Brazil legend Ronaldo. Der Bomber, as he was known, sits below fellow countryman Klose on 14, a tally that saw him top the tables for World Cup goal scorers for a 32-year period before Ronaldo broke it in 2006. Muller’s career record is staggering, but it comes as no surprise given his quality. It took someone as special as Lionel Messi to beat his record of scoring 85 goals in one calendar year.

Just Fontaine – 13 goals Frenchman Fontaine’s record of 13 goals in World Cups is a unique one, given they all came in one edition; Sweden 1958. Fontaine’s club career was epitomized by his goal scoring prowess. Despite never breaking away from the French leagues, Fontaine was renowned as one of the most lethal strikers in Europe, and will continue to grace World Cup records for a very long time. Pele – 12 goals Little needs to be said of Pele, other than his 12 World Cup goals helped inspire what is hailed as the greatest Brazil side of all time to three tournament victories. Edison Arantes do Nascimento was a genius on the ball, a marvel for his side, and someone who, to many, remains the greatest soccer player to have ever lived. His skill was typical of a Brazilian, but his ingenuity and subtlety was a joy to behold and something that we may never see again. Jurgen Klinsmann – 11 goals Klinsmann was notorious for more than his goals, as his famous diving celebration has etched itself on modern football.

Klinsmann remains the third highest capped player by Germany with 108, and his 47 goals were instrumental in a period when West Germany was a dominant force. Amongst his honors lie a World Cup and a European Championship. Klinsmann was a proven goal scorer who went on to manage the national team in the 2006 finals on home soil. Gary Lineker – 10 goals Gary Lineker is one of football's gentlemen. In all his professional career, he didn't receive a yellow card. A silent man off the field, on it he was deadly. He started his career in Leicester scoring nearly 100 goals in less than 200 appearances. In 1985, a year before the Mexico World Cup, he moved to Everton and personally he had a fantastic season. Player Of The Year and topscorer that season with 40 goals in total.

Everton, despite Lineker's goals, ended up runners-up in both the league and the FA cup after their rivals Liverpool.In 1990 England reached the semifinal, Lineker scored four goals on their way there, making him only the eight player in the World Cup history to score 10 goals or more. He bowed out in the 1992 European Championship in Sweden where he and England had a disappointing tournament. Star to watch Thomas Muller - 10 goals If there is any current player who looks set to overhaul Klose's record it is his compatriot Thomas Muller. The 24 year old goal machine has 10 goals in 2 World Cup tournaments. He has at least two more tournaments left in him where he can easily overtake Klose . (Sneha Gohri is an 18-year-old student.

Published on Jul 21, 2014 2002 Klose came to international prominence at the 2002 World Cup in Korea-Japan, because he scored five headed goals for Germany, finishing joint second highest goal scorer along with Rivaldo. He became the first player ever to score five headers in a World Cup, and he celebrated two of his goals with his trademark front-flip, earning him the nickname "Salto-Klose" (German: Salto = somersault). His goal tally included a hat-trick in Germany's 8--0 hammering of Saudi Arabia, as well as one goal each against Ireland and Cameroon. 2006 In the opening match of the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, Klose scored two close-range goals in a 4--2 win over Costa Rica,and added a similar brace in the final group game to defeat Ecuador 3--0 and make Germany the group winners.

He scored an 80th-minute headed equaliser against Argentina in the quarter-finals, and Germany won the resulting penalty shootout.With five goals, he finished as the top scorer of the tournament. 2010 Klose was selected in Germany's final 23-man squad, and for his third successive World Cup campaign. On 13 June, Klose scored the second goal against Australia in their opening group game, a 4--0 victory. This goal put him level in World Cup goals with his former coach Jürgen Klinsmann. He opened the scoring in the Round of 16 match against England on 27 June 2010 with his 12th World Cup goal, equalling Pelé for fourth on the all time list, and also notching up his 50th international goal in his 99th international game, as Germany won the game 4--1. Klose made his 100th international appearance in the quarter-final match against Argentina, becoming only the sixth German player to reach the landmark.

He then scored the second and fourth goals against Argentina (Germany winning 4--0), pulling him level with Gerd Müller's all-time German World Cup goalscoring record 2014 Klose said that the 2014 World Cup will be his last one for Germany, stating that he would like one more shot at trying to win the World Cup with Germany. On 6 June 2014, in Germany's final friendly before the World Cup against Armenia, Klose scored his 69th international goal, thus breaking Gerd Müller's record of 68 goals and becoming Germany's record goalscorer. He scored his record-equalling 15th World Cup goal in Germany's 2--2 draw against Ghana on 21 June 2014.This tied him with the Brazilian player Ronaldo, who also scored 15 World Cup goals. With this goal Klose furthermore became the third player in history to score in four different World Cups. On 8 July 2014, Klose scored a record 16th World Cup goal in the 23rd minute against Brazil in the semi-finals, his second goal of the 2014 World Cup.

That goal gave Germany a 2--0 lead, en route to a 7--1 win over World Cup host Brazil, and Klose surpassed Ronaldo's previous record of 15 World Cup goals. Klose set another record by becoming the first player to appear in four World Cup semi-finals. 2014 FIFA World Cup: Germany Defeats Brazil 7-1, Reaches Final - ABC News 2014 FIFA World Cup: Germany Defeats Brazil 7-1, Reaches Final By Alyssa Newcomb Jul 8, 2014, 7:30 PM ET 0 Shares WATCH Fight Breaks Out as Thousands Watch Brazil's Big Win 0 Shares Email Brazil had a meltdown -- and the entire world was watching.

Year 2014 FIFA World Cup Final - 必应 Sign in 2014 FIFA World Cup Final The 2014 FIFA World Cup Final was a football match that took place on 13 July 2014 at the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to determine the 2014 FIFA World Cup champion. Germany defeated Argentina 1–0 in extra time, with the only goal being scored by Mario Götze, who collected André Schürrle's cross from the left on his chest before volleying a high left-footed shot into the net.

The match was the third final between the two countries, a World Cup record, after their 1986 and 1990 matches, and billed as the world's best player ( Lionel Messi ... (展开) essi) versus the world's best team (Germany). Before the match, Germany had reached the World Cup final seven times (six times as West Germany from 1954 to 1990), winning three (1954, 1974, 1990) and being runners-up four times (1966, 1982, 1986, 2002); Argentina had reached four finals, winning twice (1978, 1986) and placing second twice (1930, 1990). The result marked Germany's fourth World Cup title, their first since German reunification, and the first World Cup won by a European team in the Americas. The victory meant that three consecutive World Cups have been won by teams from the same continent, following Italy and Spain in 2006 and 2010 respectively, the first time this has happened in World Cup history.

It was also the first time that three consecutive World Cup finals were still tied after 90 minutes. With the win, Germany qualified for the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup. In the winning German team, Miroslav Klose , who had become the top scorer in World Cup history in the semi-final victory over Brazil, became one of the very few players ever to have won gold, silver and bronze medals in the World Cup (bronze in 2006 and 2010, silver in 2002 and gold in 2014), joining a club with such players as Franz Beckenbauer, Sepp Maier and Wolfgang Overath (1966–1974). 关于2014 FIFA World Cup Final，网友们最关心的问题 1 2014 FIFA World Cup Final Background The two teams had met in 20 previous matches, with nine wins for Argentina, six wins for Germany and five draws. In these games, both teams had scored a total of 28 goals. Six of these matches were at a World Cup, two of them in the final.

The 2014 final was the seventh World Cup match between them, equalling a tournament record for meetings between two teams (along with Brazil vs Sweden, and Germany vs Yugoslavia). In the 1966 FIFA World Cup, Argentina and West Germany played a 0–0 draw in the group stage. FIFA cautioned Argentina for its violent style against the Germans which saw Argentinean Rafael Albrecht get sent off and suspended for the next match. The 1990 FIFA World Cup Final saw two Argentine players get sent off and West Germany won 1–0 due to a controversial penalty kick late in the match. The 2006 quarter-final game, where Germany won 4–2 in the shootout after the game ended 1–1, was marred by a post-match brawl caused by the Argentines, which resulted in suspensions for two Argentine players and one German player. The most recent meeting between the two teams was a friendly match played on 15 August 2012 at Commerzbank-Arena, Frankfurt am Main, won by Argentina 3–1.

Before the tournament, a friendly was scheduled for 3 September 2014, being the first match for both teams after the World Cup. Argentina won this meeting 4–2. 2014 FIFA World Cup Final Match officials Nicola Rizzoli, from Italy, was named as the referee of the final, together with fellow Italians Renato Faverani and Andrea Stefani as the assistant referees, and Carlos Vera and Christian Lescano from Ecuador as the fourth and fifth officials. In the 2014 World Cup, Rizzoli took charge of the Spain–Netherlands and Nigeria–Argentina matches in the group stage, and the quarter-final between Argentina and Belgium. He had previously taken charge of the 2010 UEFA Europa League Final and the 2013 UEFA Champions League Final, as well as named as one of the referees in the 2011 FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Euro 2012 and 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He became the third Italian referee to take charge of a World Cup final, after Sergio Gonella in 1978 and Pierluigi Collina in 2002.

Summary Both teams named unchanged starting line-ups from their semi-finals, but German midfielder Sami Khedira withdrew during the warm-up with a calf injury. He was replaced by Christoph Kramer, who had made two brief substitute appearances during the tournament. Kramer himself was later injured after a collision with Ezequiel Garay inside the penalty box, but was initially cleared to continue playing. Minutes later, however, he suffered a concussion in the middle of play and was substituted in the first half for André Schürrle. Argentina's Gonzalo Higuaín missed a good opportunity in the first half, dragging his shot wide after being put through on goal by a misjudged header from Toni Kroos. He had a goal disallowed later in the first half, when he was ruled offside after tapping in a cross by Ezequiel Lavezzi from the right wing. Lionel Messi wasted a chance early in the second half, firing wide of the German goal from inside the penalty area after receiving a through pass. In extra time, Rodrigo Palacio's lob over Manuel Neuer went just wide after the forward received a cross, missed by Mats Hummels, in the German penalty area.

Mario Götze of Germany scored during extra time, in the 113th minute, when he collected Schürrle’s cross from the left on his chest before volleying left-footed into the net. He became the first substitute to score a World Cup-winning goal, as well as the youngest player to score in a World Cup Final since German Wolfgang Weber in 1966 (same age, 22). Prior to Götze's goal, Germany came close to scoring on a number of occasions, including a header by Benedikt Höwedes that struck the Argentine goalpost just before halftime. Schürrle later struck a close-range shot straight at Argentine goalkeeper Sergio Romero early in the first half of extra time, after a pass from Götze. Late in extra time, Messi had a free kick within goal-scoring distance, which would have equalised, but he hit it over the crossbar. 2014 FIFA World Cup Final Notable spectators Host President Dilma Rousseff invited the BRICS leaders to the final ahead of the 6th BRICS summit.

Among these invited leaders was Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, the next World Cup hosts, and Jacob Zuma, the President of South Africa, the previous host. The Chinese President, Xi Jinping, and the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, did not attend the event. Other world leaders Viktor Orbán (Hungary), Ali Bongo Ondimba (Gabon) and Gaston Browne (Antigua and Barbuda) also attended the event, which led The Guardian to label the guest list "bizarre and random". Rousseff delivered the trophy to the champions in the awards ceremony. German President Joachim Gauck and Chancellor Angela Merkel were present for the final. Merkel already watched the Germany vs. Portugal match in Salvador, when the German team won 4–0. The President of Argentina, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, did not attend because of both her grandson's birthday and a case of pharyngo-laryngitis. Russian comedian Vitaly Zdorovetskiy ran onto the pitch during the match with "Natural Born Prankster" written across his torso and attempted to kiss Benedikt Höwedes of Germany. Brazilian authorities arrested him, and he was released hours after the match.

Several celebrities also attended the final, including Rihanna, Mick Jagger, David Beckham, Fabio Cannavaro, Lothar Matthäus, Daniel Passarella, Ashton Kutcher, Daniel Craig, Tom Brady, LeBron James and Pelé. 2014 FIFA World Cup Final Ceremonies The closing ceremony took place about an hour and forty minutes before the final. A performance of two acts, the ceremony lasted about 20 minutes. The first act featured 22 samba dancers and a host of other performers, with 32 of the dancers wearing dresses decorated in the colours of the 32 participating teams.
